Goodbye 3rd Grade

Another school year has come to an end. We have a yearly tradition of taking a photo on the porch on the first and last day of each school year. You can see Boogs' growth measured against the front door. Sometimes I ask Boogs to wear the same clothes on the first and last day of school. So far, he thinks it is a fun tradition. Here are Boogs' elementary school years so far:

Kindergarten

First Grade

Second Grade

Third Grade

He decided to hold the sign upside down and not smile for this morning's picture. Silly boy!

After our half day of school today, we met some friends at a nearby restaurant with an outdoor playscape. It was the perfect way to start our summer. The temperature was only 90 degrees so it was not too hot to eat and play outside.

Getting dizzy on the spinny thing. I tried it and it made me sick to my stomach.

Yum! Sweet potato fries.

This little monkey kept climbing on the outside of the tube slide and on top of the play structure. I told him I really did not want to start our summer with a trip to the ER.

A little Amy's Ice Cream to top off the afternoon.

Our summer calendar is already starting to fill up. I am trying to make sure we have a good balance of activities, playdates, outings, and down time.

What a lovely tradition and congratulations to boogs on the end of his school year. Wishing you a lovely summer ahead with plenty of outdoor fun and no more tornado threats! It looks like the diary is filling up nicely and the children glad to be out playing.

love all kinds of traditions and this one is great!~ Last school year I hung up a great big sign on our front porch that my son would see when he got home. Did the same thing this year which was just yesterday and I caught the smiles as he read all the congratulatory words on the sign as he says good-bye to 3rd grade! Found your great post over at Crafty Moms Share where this post was featured this week.

I am a wife, mother (to 10-year-old Boogs), and teacher. I love spending time and making memories with my family. I started this blog so I could record our activities and share them with our family members who live far away. This blog is a chaotic mix of my daily life - family activities, parenting, bento lunches, cardmaking, learning activities, crafts, cooking, and mini-book reviews.
